The true meaning of xmas is in this storybook.
I work at a church and many of my parents of the children I teach do not introduce the "coca cola" version of Christmas. I love this story because it introduces the christmas tree in an original way, through scripture and Jesus' love. Then the children understand why we have christmas trees in our homes and take pride in their tree rather than take it for granted.
A great story, cute illustrations....and a nice way to bring Jesus into daily storytime with your small kids.
This would be a fabulous book to use with a Unitarian Universalist curriculum. It does a great job of honoring Judeo-Christian roots while still respecting the diversity of modern congregations. The story is cute and touching without anything scary. It's suitable for very young children (I have a 3-year-old son). Each page of the story references a specific passage from the Bible in a footnote-style notation, but the story itself doesn't mention God or Jesus at all.
This is the second book we own by this author. As parents we really love the message and the kids enjoy the story over and over again! Great illustrations and a wonderful message that is not based just on being a "Christmas" book. Great story.
this book was a suprising enjoyable tale of right living for young children and adults. Read it again, mom!
